Short Summary
Super Insurance is a vlog style comedy that follows the life of Micah Barnett as he tries to prove how important his job is. He's... an insurance agent. But not your regular insurance guy, Micah works for a company that specializes in damages done by superheros and villains. He believes wholeheartedly that his job is crucial to the work that the supers do and will do everything in his power to make sure its done correctly.
Super Insurance has just announced that "a certain billionaire super hero" (*cough* Iron Man *cough*) is offering two VIP passes, along with a private tour of his lab, to the agent that process the most claims by the end of the quarter as a thank you for all of their hard work. As a self proclaimed super fan, Micah HAS TO WIN. Follow Micah and his cubicle mate/best friend, Riley, as they take on every crazy call and dangerous plan to get those tickets.
This webeseries is created by three life long friends, myself (Sharon), Liv, and Tray. We have always loved theater and creating stories and have found that the internet is a perfect place to combine the two. We believe that representation is important and are working towards creating projects that show diverse characters and situations. All types of people should be seen in media and it is our jobs as creators to help make that happen. This project is the first in many to come and we hope that with your continued support we can tell wonderful stories.
What We Need & What You Get
We are asking for $3500 to produce season 1 (19 episodes). All of the funds raised will go towards equipment, set, costume/props, post production editing, travel expenses/actor pay, and any Indigogo fees.
Equipment: $1000 - New camera, audio, lights, monitors, etc
Set: $500 - Rent for location as well as funding to build cubicle walls
Costume/Props: $300 - cast costumes as well as back ups for when things get messy (they are going to get pretty messy)
Post Production: $700 - editors, animation, and marketing
Travel/Actor Pay: $500 - We would like to be able to give our actors a bit of pay as well as some travel stipend for those that need to travel. Thankfully it is a small cast and the majority live close by!
Indiegogo Fees: $500 - This will give us a safety net for any fees that Indiegogo takes out. Any money left from this budget (after fees) will go towards Travel and Actor Pay

The Impact
Our goal with everything we make is to show positive representation in any and every way that we can. We need more things created by people of color, women, and LGBTQ creators and our group checks all of those boxes. We want to show that we all have stories to tell and that no one culture or person fits neatly into a box. This show is just the first of many and we hope that you will help us make it a reality.
Risks & Challenges
Our largest challenge is funding. We all come from humble beginnings and work every day to make ends meet. This means that we don't really have extra money to put towards the things we want to create. It's through amazing donors like you that we can overcome that hurdle.
This show is also being created by people that live across the nation from each other. Liv and Tray live in North Carolina and I live in Las Vegas. While this is a challenge, we all work well together and through long chats, video calls, and emails we have been able to get things moving!
Other Ways You Can Help
We understand that not everyone can donate to projects that they love or want to see, but by sharing our campaign or just telling your friends about us and what we are trying to create can be a HUGE help! Please share as many places you can and tell as many people as you can about our little project!
Thank you for being our Hero!!!
